deciding between server-side tagging and traditional client-side pixels usually comes down to a trade-off between
data accuracy and implementation complexity. client-side is much easier to set up for basic metrics, but ad blockers frequently intercept the requests before they even hit ur endpoint. moving logic to the server allows u to bypass many of these restrictions and maintain a
cleaner data stream for attribution models.
>the real cost isn't the setup time; it's the increased cloud infrastructure spend.if u want to see true ROI on ur marketing spend, you might need to
abandon the client-side dependency entirely. for those running heavy automation, you can verify your incoming hits using:
